Tannehauser I hope that by the time you read this you have found peace and love that truly is within your heart. Needlessly holding on to anger and resentment will only keep that peace and love chained in a very dark place. I want to share with you what an old teacher, an elder in a Sioux tribe that I was blessed to live with for many years, had told me and what he told me is true, and a truth. He said, “An elder Chief is teaching his grandson about life. “A fight is going on inside me,” he said to the boy.“It is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves. One is evil – he is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.” He continued, “The other is good – he is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith. The same fight is going on inside you – and inside every other person, too.”The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather, “Which wolf will win?”The old Cherokee simply replied, “The one you feed.”

These words were told to me many many years ago and still ring true to this very day. In fact when I find myself getting needlessly agro I think about what the elder said. All of a sudden I think how silly I must look getting drawn into senseless drama.

I wish you well on whatever journey you choose to take.
